Welcome funksters and funketeers to Rare Soul Mix 13 where we look at some of the funkiest classics from a disco era. When disco arrived funk came right along with it for the ride and for me there's no better example of this than Odyssey's dance monster inside out. Owning a banging 4 beat along with the tight bass bringing you right back on the ONE was pure genius and with the string arrangement bringing some emotion with it there truly isn't a better example.
Slave's just a touch of love gets the Masters At Work treatment which starts off having you thinking they may have over cooked it somewhat but they manage to reign it back in and keep it right and tight. I've then gone for Patrice Rushen, Change, Tom Browne and The Blackbyrds all dance floor monsters back in the day and finally the scorchingly hot glide by Pleasure before changing up the tempo and mellowing out with the Jones Girls classic nights over Egypt.
The mellow mood continues to the end with four of the best tracks I could find to compliment the previous ones. As always I hope you enjoy and remember if you're not making the funk face while listening to this mix you truly are devoid of funk as Clinton once said you need to free your ass and your mind will follow.
Peace ✌ funksters!
